Driving License Renewal Online

Here’s the scenario, you have a Malaysian driving license and you are a busy person. One fine day, you decided to look at your license, and it is going to expire soon. It’s time to get it renewed.

Should you go to the post office, J.P.J. office or asked a friend to help you to renew the license?

None of the above…

Malaysia is slowly but surely moving with the times. Some of the government services can be done through the internet. License renewal for example. There is a portal call MyEG where you can renew your driving license online. You can find them at http://www.myeg.com.my/.

You may have seen their ads on TV or the signboards along the Federal Highway. They were using Maya Karin as their spoke person once.

Surprisingly, some people do not know such service existed. Nonetheless, here are some Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) about MyEG services.

1) Do I need to register with MyEG for Driving License Renewal?
No. All you have to do is click on the Driving License Renewal link on the top right at the web site.

2) When is the effective date of my renewed license once I renew the license online?

3) What vehicles classes does MyEG offer for the License Renewal?
The common classes the portal process are D Class (for car) and B Classes (motorcycles). They also offer all Vehicle Classes Renewal from JPJ.

4) If I own a Probation Driving License. Can I renew my driving license at MyEG?
For PDL holders, the license must be referred back to JPJ. MyEG only caters the renewal of Driving License services.

11) I tried to renew my license today because my license has expired today, but I can’t proceed for the renewal. Why?
It is recommended for you to renew before or after the expiry date but NOT on your expiry date. This is because JPJ updates all expired licenses daily and your request will be rejected for renewal.

12) I haven’t renewed my license for 4 years and I plan to renew my license with MyEG Services. Can I proceed with the renewal?
If you have not renewed your license for more than 3 years, you need to re-apply your license at J.P.J.

I hope this blog post will be useful if you are planning to renew your driving license online.

Hi,
Regarding about license, I’ve renew my license from the post office. Must you require to bring the original expired copy along that has the picture with the renew slip or would the renewed slip would be good enough when travelling(driving)? Cause I believe I have not been able to find my original copy and I am only holding the renewed slip.
What would I do if I need it? Go back to JPJ and request a new one?
Please reply anyone. Thanks

I have a Malaysian driving license with my picture on it (the original driving license) from 2001 -2003. My “P” License was from 1999-2001. After 2003, i have a renewal from the post office which of providing me with a renewal slip from year 2003-2008, and recently a second renewal slip which runs from year 2008 to 2013.

However, is that possible to get a new photo ID driving license for the current running period? This is because i am taking my driving license in Australia now, and they need proof of the past photo ID license together with the renewal slips and also a current photo ID license to show that i have been driving for more then 7 years. This is so when i pass my Australia’s driving test, i would not need to go through the “P” phase in Australia thus getting the full license straight away. Should i just go to JPJ to get a new current photo ID license ? Thanks in advance. /cheers

Hi, I’m at present working in one of the Gulf countries & i’d just like to know which’s actually the license number as this translator I’m using t get my license translated into arabic claims otherwise than the one I believe is. Thanks for your reply in advance.

Hi, I was staying in Malaysia till August 2009 and now shifted to France, I have a Malaysian License which is expired in September 2009. Can I renew it and if yes, what is the procedure? what documents are needed?

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to know that can I renew the license evenif I don’t have Malaysian Visa? Do I need to send my original license? and in the above website what should I put in category?

I think you can renew the license even if you don’t have Malaysian Visa. You do not need to send your original license. If you’re a Malaysian, select the Citizen of Malaysia category. If you are facing problems with MyEG, please contact their support staff.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am basically Indian Citizen and i stayed in Malaysia for 5 Years and now i moved to France..My question is whether its possible to renew the license if i am not malaysian citizen..Is there anyway i can call you to discuss further

I know this is an old post but I hope you can help me.
I’m a citizen and have a Malaysian license which I believe (I’m not sure the copy I have is the latest) might have expired for almost 4 years.
I have been in the US for the last 10 years and still is. I can’t recall if I did renew or not after that expiration, is there any way to find out?

If it is in fact expired for 3.5 years, is there any way I can avoid starting the whole process all over again? I mean like proving that I was out of the country or something. If not, would it be possible to use my US license to apply for a new Malaysian one?

Forget all about your Malaysian license. It’s beyond redemption. Get your US license certified by the issuing authority. Next, go to any J.P.J. office, preferably in Putrajaya to get it converted to Malaysian licence.

Bring along, your identification papers, 1 colour photo and the original US license.

Hi, I am a Malaysian holding Malaysia driving license. However, as I am working in Singapore, I will need to get a Singapore driving license to drive in Singapore. Would like to check with you if I need to surrender my Msia driving license to get the Singapore driving license? If yes, then can I drive a Msia registered vehicle in Msia using a Singapore driving license?

Need some help here, i was a student abroad (Australia) for 4 years and i manage to obtain my Australian license, but im a Malaysian citizen and now im back at Malaysia working full time, and i don’t have a Malaysian driving license, is it possible to convert my Australian license to Malaysian license? If so, how can i? any ideas? much appreciated

I am a Malaysian holding a Singapore driving license. When I went to JPJ recently to apply for the conversion back to a Malaysian license, I was informed that I needed a letter/document from the Singapore Traffic Police. This document is not stated as a requirement for conversion in the JPJ website. Do you know what letter/document they are referring to? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

Hello Mr Yap wish to ask about my situation. I was working in Malaysia when i get my ‘P’ licence its going to expire in August 2010. Can i renew it eventhough i already change my passport? My passport details when i get my ‘P’ and my passport now have different details (year and place of birth but name is the same). Thanks for your help.

I am a Malaysian but i have obtained probation driving license from Australia, i will be coming back to Malaysia in the next few weeks. My question, can i drive a Msia registered vehicle in Msia using a probation Australian driving license?

According to regulations, a P that has expired more than 1 year becomes Null and Void. Usually in such cases, JPJ require a person to sit Part I (slope, side parking and 3 point turn) and Part II (jalan raya) all over again.

In case you are still unsure, do get a driving instructor to assist you.

Hi all,
I have just purchased a car in australia and I need to get a car insurance, however I need to know when did I get my probational license. It’s been few years back since i got my P license. Is there any way i can retrieve the date? Thanks in advance

My license is expiring on July 10. I have just been sent on an overseas assignment at work and will not be in Malaysia until Aug. Is it possible for me to renew it online at MyEG and then have someone else at my residence sign for it when it arrives? Or do I have to personally sign for it?

I refer back to Joseph Ooi’s question and would just like to confirm the answer. If I ask my mother or husband to renew my license at the post office while I’m away, all they need is my old license? What about my MyKad? Are there any forms that need to be filled up and can I get them online?

Yes, you should be able to renew you license online with MyEG. Yes, someone else at your home could sign for it. You can also get someone to renew you license at post office. For the above, only you old license is required. MyKad not needed. No forms need to be filled. Only selected post office offer renewal of license service.

Hi Cikgu Yap,
i’m in Australia now and they need me to prove that I have been driving for more than 3 years. My newly renewed license doesn’t state when I 1st got my license. How can I get the letter or proof? I can actually check online and it does state there but then everything is in BM. Please help. Tx.

My Fren has Indian driving license and he’s currently working in Malaysia. Can he used his Indian driving licence here? If the license is not acceptable here, what is the procedure that he must do? is there any supporting document that he must bring to JPJ?

Cikgu Yap..are u a JPJ officer? U are very helpfull giving all the response. I’ve call JPJ, but the answer and info given is not sufficient enuf and didn’t help me at all (seems like they didn’t know anythng)

Does it only applicable for 3 months only? what happen next then? have seen the Indian license and it written in English, but they dont dare to drive here due to 3 month rulling. Or maybe just advise them to JPJ counter by bring the existing Driving License, Passport and visa. is it?

Regarding about license, i wanna to renew my malaysian driving license valid until 15en july 2010.
Could you please advise me, what are the documents for renewing it?where i can do it?could you please advise regarding this matter…

Regarding to the license, i already renew my license at MyEG website, but they havent send it to my house.Can i directly go to any states post office or JPJ office to take my renewal license. if yes, then any documents or receipt required?
One more thing, how long it take to get a certified copy of Malaysian license in jpj office that needed for license conversion purpose? Can be done within a day?
thank you.

Call MyEG office again to ask why the delay. Post office and JPJ have nothing to do with your renewal. Normally a certified copy of Malaysian license normally costs RM10. It might take a day, at least.

Any idea on road tax renewal without need to settle pdrm blacklist? didn’t manage to get proper announcement from JPJ for that matter. some say need to go direct to police, while some saye need to go JPJ but can only renew for 6 months. so inconvenieced la…

I am living in Australia and my Malaysian driving license has expired on 24/11/2007. Since I would not go back to Malaysia within a year, just wondering if my family receive my renewal slip this year, is there any time limit to load it in MyKad? Can I load it in MyKad when I go back sometimes 2011?

Your license which expired on 24/11/2007 unfortunately has become null and void. Contact the JPJ authorities who will the advise you what to do. Particulars embossed into MyKad is only for you information. It is not valid to be used.

Hi…
Great site btw… alot of useful information… just wanted to know one thing… you mentioned above that the CDL maybe renewed on MyEG and they will deliver the slip to your residence… my question is how many times can this be done? because i have already one of these slips already and i did encounter an incident with a police officer where he himself was baffled that how come there is another slip other than the licence… and i was nearly arrested for driving with a expired licence… he told me to renew my licence altogether in one piece and not to do this slip slip extra business…

Hi Cikgu Yap, I have applied for Singapore license using Malaysian license about 10 years ago. I have friends doing the same but they are still continue renewing their malaysian license at POS Office in Malaysian but I have forgotten to do so for mine & it expires on 13/2/2007. What should I do now? I am still staying in Singapore now & driving a Singapore car now.

I see your earlier reply on similiar issue of applying for Singapore license that under Seksyen 29 (b) APJ ’87, the Malaysian license will then become null and void. Why POS office still allow such people renew their Malaysian license?

Refer to Christine, i also have convert to Singapore license 1 year ago and my Malaysia license has been expired on July 2010. Do you think i still able to renew my malaysia license at JPJ or pos office? If really able to renew at pos office, should be recognize by JPJ, rite? Hope to received your advise.
Thanks

As far as I am aware, by converting your Malaysian license to Singapore driving license, your Malaysian license no longer needs to be renewed. Give up your Singapore license when you no longer need it to get back your Malaysian license later. However, you could always check up with the JPJ for clarification.

I am living in Dubai now. I am holding Malaysian ”P” license valid until this coming October 2011.

Is it possible to renew my license to full licence before the expiry date? Do you need my original pasport or just the copy, is it posible if i ask my friend to renew it? Could you please advise regarding this matter. Thank you.

I was glad that i found your ‘chamber’. The informations were very helpful to me. But i still hv question to ask. Briefly, i’m holding a ‘P’ license for B2 & D class and will be expired on 1/10/2011 (for both). Last year i got parking summons for B2 and speeding summons for D, which i had settled it within the stipulated period. Early this month i got another summon for the D for not putting ‘P’ sticker. On the summons the JPJ’s officer wrote that I need to attend before Magistrate on 18/8/2011 but the offence is compoundable and I need to settle it on or before 18/7/2011. My understanding is if I settle the summons on or before 18/7/2011, I do not need to attend before Magistrate on 18/8/2011 but my worries now is of course the issue of suspension of my ‘P’ license. Should I attend the magistrate court instead and delay the matter until I can convert my ‘P’ to ‘CDL’. Secondly, my understanding upon perusing your comments stated above, when ‘P’ license holder settled their summons within time period they will not get any demerits, so is it correct to say that for the last year’s summons I have no demerits as I had settled it within time so is it also prudent to settle my new summons on or before 18/7/2011 to avoid from getting any demerits. What is you view on this. TQ in advance.

The problem with your summons is that you have 2 separate summons. The speeding summons, if over 40 km.h, may get your demerits even if it is settled. However, your summons for not affixing P stickers, might likely save you from getting demerit points, as their latest decision was made whereby those who settle their summons early will not be affected by demerit points at all.

I currently hold an Australian probationary license from Victoria. When driving in Malaysia using this license, I adhere to Malaysian policies in regards probationary drivers and not Australian. Is that correct? Also, am I allowed to drive using this license indefinitely for the as long as it does not expire? (I am Malaysian)

I had 1 issue, which it makes me feel curios, my driving license is expired already, thus i want to renew it. But, i had 1 sign summon for my motorbike. The question is, can i renew my license or not? Because i need to used my car daily.

Hi Cikgu Yap,
My CDL is 5 years-old (09/06/2008 – 08/06/2013) and i have approximately 6 months before my license expires. Can i renew my CDL before the end of 2012? What will happen if i renew my license 6 months before it expires?

I am a Malaysian currently living in Australia. My renewal slip expired on the 29th March 2012. I will be going back to KL next month just for a holiday and want to renew my license.
How long will it take to renew it and what will I need to provide? I understand from all the past posts that I need to go to either JPJ or post office to renew it?

Good day, I have renew my license using myEG because the nearest JPJ around having problem with their machine and just receive the renewal slip today. I am worried that even until my expire license date came around, the machine still unable to use. Since driving license need to change into high-end license, so I just need to bring my renewal slip to JPJ anytime then since it is already renewed.

Hi, I am glad to find this site. I had lost all my Malaysian driver licence (I am a Malaysia citizen) in Dec last year when I travelled. I have moved to Canada but will go back to Malaysia for a month and will need to drive. My lost license is expired in 2017.

Hello Cikgu Yap, recently received Notis Polis 170A ; apparently for Kesalahan No.2 – causing unnecessary obstruction on a road. Well, I parked my car by the roadside with a single white line. There was no No Parking signage or yellow line(s). To me this Kesalahan No.2 thing is kinda ambigious ; it is up to the officer to interpret. Did my parked car actually caused the traffic to be stucked and not moving at all ? What constitues an obstruction ? People have parked at that road for years without any incident, and suddenly this Kesalahan No.2. I called the IPD, but was told that all roads, including those in taman-taman perumahan, are not supposed to have parked vehicles, even without No Parking / Yellow line signs. Well, if this is the case, then I guess my stupid question would be this ; why the need to put up No Parking sign and draw yellow lines when no one is supposed to park on any road at all ? Almost argued with that police fella on this logic. Anyway, hope Cikgu Yap can enlighten us all. Many thanks.

I was a malaysian but converted to become a singaporean in Sep 2008. I got my malaysia driving licence in Feb 2008 and I have been renewing my malaysia driving licence every time when it expires (recently renewed to 2016). My questions are as follows:

1. Can I still use my malaysia driving licence to drive in Malaysia even though I am now a singapore citizen? (I do not have a singapore driving licence now.)

2. Do you think I can convert this malaysia driving licence to singapore driving licence now?

hi cikgu yap,
I am a malaysian and currently I am holding a singapore driving licence. If in future,I went back to malaysia.

I want to renew my Malaysian probationary driving license (PDL), however I am not in the country, and therefore cannot visit the next JPJ office. What can I do?

Is there any way to receive a renewal slip stating that my license is renewed so that when I go back to Germany in February I can do whats necessary to convert it to a German license. Or a paper confirming that I have a license.

Please can you help me, since I do not want to redo everything again and time is limited for me to fly to Kuala Lumpur.

I understand that I cannot convert my license directly into a German one, I still have to do the practical and theoretical test, however I don’t have to do everything again. Therefore it is important for me to receive a renewal slip from the JPJ office, however I am not in Malaysia. What can I do?? Is there no way to get a renew slip for my PDL license via Email or Post, so that when I do my license in Germany I have proof that it is now extended.

Hi.

May I ask if I want to upgrade my P license to full license, can my friends or family do on behalf of me because I’m not in the country.
Am I need to pass all required documents to them? Documents must be original copies? Must do in JPJ office?

My P license will be expiring soon next month, I just want to ask do i have to bring a picture of myself or any other documents? And also what kind of saman will not allow me to proceed with my license renewal?

Through all the posts mentioned above, I’m quite sure that parents can renew your p license on your behalf if you’re studying overseas? The thing is when my dad went to jpj they rejected it and say that they need me in person as it’s a P license. I’ve also email them for verification , it’s been the third email but still no reply. Can you please please kindly advice what else can I do? Thank you in advance.

Im a forerigner from South Africa, i used to study in malaysia. I had my P license, but expired in June 2013 and also got lost during an accident. I need to convert it to CDL. What documents do i need to send my friend in malaysia in order to convert it for me?

My probabitonary liscense (P license) expired so I hand over my license to a driving school to do the renewal. It costs me 165 ($15 = gaji). But when I went to collect my license, they say I need to pay $15 more because my p license has been expired for more than a week. Do I really need to pay that 15 bucks? From what I remember, I don’t think my p license has expired for more than a week.. I think it was just 2 or 3 days after the expiry.

My son is working in California now and he recently applied to renew his CDL through MyEG. But this duplicate license without photo has been lost during postal delivery.
